"I never wanted to be a Lawyer, in fact by class three of basic school, I knew I wanted to be a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. I was so inspired by Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng and the humongous nature of his title, that I ran to my Dad and told him that was what I wanted to be one afternoon," he mentioned.

Joel who is a graduate of Climate Science ascribed his dramatic switch and pursuit of law to the grace of God as he acknowledged that the ways of man are not the ways of God.

He concluded the post by giving credit to his mentor, friend, and boss, who would rather not be named, his favorite lecturer Clement Kojo Akapame and the entire law faculty Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
